Horrible Accident.
From the Ceutralia Guard


A most horrible and h~eart-rending
accident occurred on last Monday
morning, II miles north of CentralIa,
in Audrain county, by which the lit
tie two-year-old son of John Boor
was ushered into eternity. 1t appears
that Mrs. Boor had stopped out for a
few minutes to visit a neighbor, lesv-
ing her four children, whose ages
ranged from two to eight years,
alone in the house. A gun heavily
loaded with buckshot stood against
the wall of the room in which the
children were playing. A short time
after Mrs. Doors departure there
was heard from the house a dull,
heavy report, and a moment later
three Of the children rushed scream
ing into the yard. A neighbor bur-
ried over to ascertain the trouble and
on going into the house was Mortified
at the sight that met his eyes. The
room was full of powder smoke, and
on the floor stretched in death was
the little two-year-old child, in a pool
of blood, its clothing on fire from the
powder, showing that the gun must
have been close TO it's body when dis
charged. 1t was found that the ell
tire charge of buckshot has passed
through the clild's chest from the
front, and ranging downward to the
rear, passed out at the back and
lodged 10 the wall. The wound was
fearful, the cruel bullets tearing and
decorating the poor little body, sc
that the sight was ~sickening. The
children YER too frightened and ex
cited to tell how the thing happened,
claiming that the gun fell down, but
but the position of the wounds would
indicate that some one of the children
must have had hold Of the gun. They
we're all too small to comprehend The
dangerous nature of the weapon, and
it is supposed that while playing will
